What is the SATA interface of this product, SATA II or SATA III?

Unfortunately non-software that I have can test it and the hardware itself does not seems to be different physically but I will recommend it as it works good for burning at 6x and the time was 16 min as expected for this device class and if an optical go up from 16x then you maybe need SATA3 but currently it seems does not applies [16× 576 Mbit/s 72 MB/s] because SATA 2 3Gb/s is good up to ~ 290MB/s read and write vs. 6Gb/s is good up to ~ 600mb/s read / write. OS Driver Description - ASUS BW-16D1HT SCSI Cd-Rom Device. So I just hope this information help you to decide.

The drive runs at SATA I speed (150 Gbit/s) which is normal for modern optical drives. Connection-wise, SATA is backwards and forwards compatible. You can plug it into any generation of SATA and expect the same functionality.

The bandwidth of even SATA I far exceeds the throughput of any optical drive. So this will perform identically whether plugged into a SATA I, II, or III port.

Not paying ninety bucks for sata 1 and no 3d. someone please direct me to a small form factor read write dbl layer plus light scribe 3d either sata 3 or 6? that will fit in a shuttle SH97R6

As Richard says, it is supposed to work but in my experience it does not even for SATA II. For SATA III, if it worked at all and that is very unlikely, it will be so slow, you might as well write the data by hand.

Hmm... I personally don't know this either (I too would like to know -- in case anyone has tested it out). However, the product picture show the "SERIAL ATA" logo with "1.5Gb/s" below it -- making me believe it is not SATA 3Gb/s or SATA 6Gb/s. I am looking for one that supports 3Gb/s.

Yes, "SATA III" as you listed in the question - is the indicator that this is the right cable

See: http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8142/~/difference-between-sata-i,-sata-ii-and-sata-iii"SATA III specifications provide backward compatibility to function on SATA I and SATA II ports. However, the maximum speed of the drive will be slower due to the lower speed limitations of the port." SATA II drive speed is 3GB/s, so you won't get the full SATA III speed throughput by using this cable.

Yes, the interface is backward compatible with the old format Sata up to 1.5, and should be no problem working at the sata 2 interface speed.

I am sorry I can not give you an answer. The sata connection is an older version that only is workable with either an adapter plate or cable, which would make the enclosure unusable.

I think this indicates the type of SATA interface speed. There's SATA I (1.5GB/s), SATA II (3.0GB/s), and SATA III (6.0GB/s). The higher the SATA interface, the greater the potential bandwidth throughput it can support.

It is Sata II or SATA III compatible. If you do not understand the interface for HDD you probably should not be building a computer or buying components.

You do know this is a SAS hard drive and not an SATA one. Well the truth is I had brought this one by mistake and had sent it back. So I really cannot give you an answer. Sorry.

I don't know if it is SATA. But my computer hardware store can't fix it, and I have to send to a special lab and spend $2000 to give it a try. The tech guy told me that this particular serial number has long been plagued with the issue, and the company still try to unload them. I don't like the company and any thing from it.

yes it will work on sata 2 & 3 and its backward compatible means it will go back from 3 to 2 . you will like it

Yes. They should all be backwards compatabile for SATA. I used with SATA III as well.

SATA version 3, as in 6Gbps. All four of the ports on this board are SATA version 3.

I don't see why not:quote from SanDisk site (applies to all SATA):SATA II specifications provide backward compatibility to function on SATA I ports. SATA III specifications provide backward compatibility to function on SATA I and SATA II ports. However, the maximum speed of the drive will be slower due to the lower speed limitations of the port.

Not 100% sure but SATA III (revision 3.x) interface, formally known as SATA 6Gb/s, is a third generation SATA interface running at 6.0Gb/s. The bandwidth throughput, which is supported by the interface, is up to 600MB/s. This interface is backwards compatible with SATA 3 Gb/s interface. This particular device claims a transfer rate up to 480Mbps, leading me to believe its a III

It is not SATA technology. It is PATA or EIDE. I bought this for my older computer that still works great but these drives are no longer available in local stores.
